Method
- Preheat the oven to 180˚C/ 160˚C fan/ gas 4. Put the herbs (reserving a little dill) and spices into a large bowl and mix well together. Now stir in the baking powder and spring onions. Season with salt and pepper.
- Mix in the eggs and most of the cranberries into the mixture, making sure everything is well coated in egg. Grease a 23cm ovenproof frying pan generously with oil. Pour in the egg mixture then bake in the oven for 20-25 mins until set.
- Remove the omelette from the oven and leave to stand for 10 mins. Turn it out onto a board, then turn it again so the green herby side is on top. Sprinkle with the remaining cranberries, dill and toasted walnuts. Serve with flatbreads and Greek yoghurt.
